I am also aware that on a UK salary we would never be able to afford to visit the US again so common sense says we should stay another coupla years and see as much as we can. But common sense has

So I don't know.
DH is applying for jobs here in the US and back home in the UK. Then we'll roll a dice.
Maybe if I lived in a community with lots of unschoolers and no traffic instead of uptight North Virginia I'd be happier. Every time I find an unschooler here, after a bit I find them making their child
do curriculum cos they got anxious and while people make their own decisions it becomes difficult to explain to my kids why so-and-so wont play cos their mother considers 'school' more important than
playing.
Sigh.

I am also aware that on a UK salary we would never be able to afford to visit the US again so common sense says we should stay another coupla years and see as much as we can. But common sense has
nothing to do with homesickness.
So I don't know.
DH is applying for jobs here in the US and back home in the UK. Then we'll roll a dice.
Maybe if I lived in a community with lots of unschoolers and no traffic instead of uptight North Virginia I'd be happier. Every time I find an unschooler here, after a bit I find them making their child
do curriculum cos they got anxious and while people make their own decisions it becomes difficult to explain to my kids why so-and-so wont play cos their mother considers 'school' more important than
playing.
Sigh.
